Abstract:
The construction of a harmonious hospital-patient relationship requires a sound medical system as a basis,but also the quality of both doctors and patients.For the medical practitioners,the following four medical attitudes is of great significance.The first is equanimity,which is taking the patient-doctor exchanges as equal relationship with choice and being chosen,providing services and accepting services.The second is responsibility,that is able to understand the dialectical relationship between rights and obligations correctly,and take the obligation they should take initiatively.The third is benevolence,that is full of mercy or sympathy towards the patients.The fourth is the heart of fear,that is able to respect their patients and treat the disease with fearand cautiousness because of knowing its ignorance.
